" " ■"**•»* I» éludant questions concerning the University and its activities. What happens to unpaid parking violations? Legislation passed last year enables the University to collect fines. There are seven days in which to pay a violation. After the second billing, the account is turned over to Dean Hamni and the University can hold up a degree. If one doesn’t understand why he received the violation or if he feels it is unfair, the violation may be appealed to Arthur Bowica parking administrator. Is it possible for Campus Security to be more effective with line crashers in the ticket line? The responsibility lies with the individual student and not with Campus Security. Why don’t they pass oat 58-yard line seat tickets before emhzooe tickets? They do. However, all of the best section tickets are divided among the different windows. Is there a provision for m arried students to attend the M w lf games? At the beginning of the season, m arried students were able to purchase spouse cards. These cards cost 913 and enabled them to attend athletic events throughout the entire year. Why is the overflew parking set up the way it is behind Palo Verde Main? When K-lot, directly behind Paki Verde, is full, K-stickers are allowed to parie in R-lot, directly behind K-lot. When R-lot is full, R-stickers may park in T-lot, next to the stadium. This system re ­ sults in the R-lot being full; however, it is not feasible to have Klot overflow park in T-lot. The m ajority of the tim e, this would leave an empty parking tot between the two places. The reason the parking tots are assigned this way is that it offers the fairest and most convenient system to the greatest number of people who have paid their 95 fee. Is it legal for Campas Securiy to enter dorm rooms withont a war­ rant? Irving Jaffee of Campus Security says they m ay enter a room on two occasions without a w arrant: when assisting University per­ sonnel in performing their duties during an emergency, and » hen reasonable evidence suggests a felony is occurring or file presence of a felon in a room. What are the University’s future (dans for expanding east of Scotts­ dale Road? John R. Ellingson, director of plannmg and construction, said file University would buy unimproved tots cm the west end of Ter­ race Road and on the corner of Rural Road and University Drive. However, he declined to state what this land would be used for Hie present expansions are the addition to the Student Hoaith Center, new a rt and architecture buildings, and a new education complex. Future plans include: parking structures south of the New Business Building, two music complexes behind the education com­ plex, a field house near Joe Selleh Field and a physical education complex with Olympic pools. The University m il be enclosed al­ most entirely by a Mall. All these plans are to be .•on.pleted around the mid-1960’s.

T IL L 9 PM (MON. THRU FRI.) SAT. T IL L 6 PM Deadline for the United Fund drive on campus has been changed to Nov. 22 to allow for the completion of the $17,600 goal. Only 81 per cent of the goal had been reached on the origin­ al date Nov. 1, the University relations department reported; this amounted to $14,334. Dr. Thornton W. Price, pro­ fessor of mechanical engineering and campus organizer of the Tempe United Fund drive, said, “We used letters to the staff and faculty with pledge cards included. This replaced the per­ sonal door-to-door type sales pitch we used last year.” “I feel we’ll find the people who really care about helping the community this way, rather than have someone pledge just to get you to leave them alone,” Price said.

The money will be divided on the basis of need with a definite percentage going to each agency. Some of the major allocations are: youth, 43.7 per cent; fami­ ly and child services, 16.5 per cent; community-relief, 16.3 per cent; health, 10.5 per cent. Dr. Price also said that much of the money is Universityoriented with some going to the Religious Council, the non-sec­ tarian casework and counseling service open to everyone. Annually, a budget committee of responsible citizens meets with each member agency to re­ view its budget. The United Fund board determines a goal for the fall campaign on the basis of this review and the com­ m ittee’s recommendation. When the goal is attained, agencies are allocated their “goal inclusion” figure. Other­ wise, the allocation to each agency is adjusted on the basis of need — never by per cent or formula. The Tempe United Fund is the successor of the Tempe Com­ munity Chest. Its organization, initiated by the Tempe Chamber of Commerce, was motivated by a desire to consolidate as many drives as possiblè into one ef­ fective, economical campaign. Military medals shown in library A m ilitary medals exhibit, ranging from foreign m edals to some dating back to the Civil War, is displayed in four cases on the main floor of Hayden library. The collection, which belongs to Karl Johnson, reference li­ brarian, includes medals of several foreign countries and books concerning the subject. Military accessories decorate the case exhibiting navy and marine medals. Civil War medals and the China Service Medal are part of this group. Medals representative of the Vietnam conflict are among the 61- U.S. Army medals which are part of Johnson’s collection. The exhibit will rem ain in the library through November.

Wirthlin, associate professor of ecnomics. The poll’s prim ary objective is not to predict the winner in a political race, Dr. Wirthlin said this week, but to develop meaningful data on which poli­ tical strategy can be based. In 1964 when both Dr. Wirth­ lin and his partner, Bruce D. Merrill, an assistant professor of political science, were' as­ sociated with Brigham Young University in Utah, they found­ ed Merrill-Wirthlin Associates.

Dr. M. E.

A discount is offered to those registering be­ fore Dec. 15. Dr. Wirthlin emphasized the percentage outcome of an elec­ tion is still secondary to the real purpose for going to the expense of conducting a poll. Early in the race the poll is essential for determining just where the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses lie. What kind of an image does he project? How deep is his personal and political appeal? What do voters in this particular district or state really want in their of­ fice holders?” “In Goldwater’s case we used 1,000 interviews in the state al­ though Gallup, in making his national surveys, only used 1,600,” Dr. Wirthlin said. “We consider 400 samples about the minimum number of interviews that will give us a valid finding in a congressional race, and we find that 1,000 in­ terviews are adequate on a state­ wide basis,” Ik added.

In other, words, if the Senate approves 80 per cent of the budget requested, each team would re­ ceive 80 per cent of the amount it requested. 2.

As it is now, my coaches ask for just what they need. I total this and send it to the Student Sen­ ate.

Such iiliiges exist only in m ir­ rors. B utin stereochemistry, the study f f n w molecules are shap­ ed, m irror images leave the mirror.'; Dr. George Yuen, associate professor of chemistry specializ­ ing in stereochemistry, is work­ ing with molecules which are exact m irror images of each other. * These twins, called m irror is­ omers, are helping scientists learn more about the shape and behavior of all molecules. Dr. Yuen (pronounced yon) pointed out that the study of m irror isomers is only a part of the science of stereochemis­ try. Mirror twin molecules were first discovered by chemists in the last half of the 19th cen­ tury when stereochemistry was just beginning to give a new dimension to molecules. Since then, stereochemistry, along with the study of the mir­ ror twin molecules, has grown more complex. It is proving in­ valuable to scientists studying the intricate molecular systems of the “life” acids; ribonucleic acid (RNA) and dioxyribonuclic acid (DNA). Dr. Yuen explained that scien­ tists are probing deeper into the complex worlds of these giant molecules. But the job is so immense and complicated that many scientists, like Dr.. Yuen, are returning to the sim­ ple molecules. With only a dozen or so atoms the job is made easier and scientists can develop the tools needed to explore the great molecular cities of the proteins. Dr. Yuen said stereochemis­ try with its m irror isomers is giving chemists a clearer pic­ ture of the great task-ahead: the synthesis of proteins.
